One could, but I don't think that's what Euvie meant. (Feel free to correct me

) If you shut up the chatty self-referencing mind, there is still occasionally chatty mind. It just isn't the only player in the orchestra who gets to be on stage.

I'm with the Zen guys on this. Come to think of it, I'm probably a crypto Zen Buddhist in more ways than one. Not, mind, because thoughts are so dangerous. They're mostly just annoying and distracting. #NotAllThoughts, though.

I don't know. This discussion is sort of circumspect and theoretical, I feel. Thoughts are objects, like particles. But just like I don't want too much dust on my windshield, I don't want too many thoughts in my consciousness.

Yes. But then, that would not sound as cool! I'm all for sounding cool. I mean, I'm a rooster, so don't take my advice on that. Crowing impressively is sort of half the job.
